This has created pressure on businesses to shift into a mode of remote working in order to avoid severe disruption. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has attempted to face challenges accompanying this crisis and explore solutions with the wise vision and constant support of its leadership. This paper examines the transition of working procedures at one of the most influential entities in the UAE; the Ministry of Education (MOE). The purpose here is to shed light on how obstacles have been turned into opportunities in order for MOE employees to continue working remotely during such critical conditions.

This study analyzes the value and originality of MOE remote working practices and their impact on the wider community.]]>
